I Made A Resolution Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

B B

Bwell I woke up this morning

and I made a resolution,

 I said "Enever going to sing another sad song againB."

I decided I'd admit it,

I'm not an intellectual,

 though the Ewords never come easy unless I'm singing themB,

 and the C♯mhills that I was born in will never leave meB no matter how hard I try.

Band then my brother was murdered

while my father was in prison,

 and the gEirl that I sometimes loved up and moved awBay,

and my body filled up with blackness, and the darkness it wanted to drown me,

 and I hEeard my father's footsteps catching up to meB,

 and hC♯me took me by the shoulders and he said "soD♯mn, my hands are strong, but I

 hEope you have the strength to shake usB free,

Eshake us frBee boy, Eshake us freeB my son, Eyou better shake us freBe."

Band now I'm lying in the van,

chicago in the springtime,

 and the rEain outside was falling sounds just like popcoBrn,

but before I open my eyes I think I make this resolution,

 "no I'm nEever gonna sing another sad song for as loBng as I live"

 and the liC♯mght coming through the windows is making evBerything glow

 and he tooC♯mk me by the shoulders and he said "soD♯mn my hands are strong, but I

 hoEpe you have the strength to shake us fBree,E shake us frBee, Eshake us freeB,

  shEake us free myB son."
